An electrical signal is then sent through the auditory nerve and into the auditory cortex of the brain as a neural message.

A transducer acts like a tiny speaker, transmitting sound waves by vibrating the skull bone, which relays these vibrations to auditory nerves.
43.
Schwannomas are tumors of the nerve covering and usually occur along nerves of the spine and along the auditory nerve in the brain.
44.
Lea speculates that stimulation of the female's auditory nerve fibers causes hormone release in the part of the brain that controls reproductive behavior.
45.
This demonstrates that auditory nerve fibers respond best, and hence have better thresholds at the fiber's characteristic frequency and frequencies immediately surrounding it.
46.
The peripheral axons of auditory nerve fibers form synaptic connections with the hair cells of the cochlea via ribbon synapses using the neurotransmitter glutamate.
47.
The implants activate auditory nerve fibers and allow transmission of sound signals to the brain, and about 60, 000 devices are being used worldwide.
48.
The correlogram is generally computed in the time domain by autocorrelating the simulated auditory nerve firing activity to the output of each filter channel.
49.
The electrode array stimulates the remaining auditory nerve fibers in the cochlea, which carry the signal on to the brain, where it is processed.
50.
Jay Rubinstein, an ear surgeon from the University of Iowa, said he has made strides by tweaking signal processing software that stimulates the auditory nerve.
